According to tweets by the VP’s Spokesperson, Mr. Laolu Akande, Osinbajo was given the vaccination by Dr. Nicholas, his personal physician.
Akande tweeted, “Mr. President and his deputy, VP Osinbajo just got vaccinated with the Astra-Zeneca Covid-19 vaccine at the Presidential Villa following the launch of the vaccination exercise yesterday with frontline health workers. We should all take turns when time comes to get the happy jabs!
“Why did I say happy jabs? Well first & foremost it’s the beginning of the ending of this yearlong pandemic or so we hope. And secondly, VP says right after the jab by Dr. Nic, his Personal Physician “the thing was not painful at all. I didn’t even feel the pinch.” That’s Happy!”
